EN The paper presents some designing and organizational problems related to cross-docking terminals. These problems were defined based on literature review. The authors identify the problem of mutual arrangement of relational areas on terminal entrance and on exit as well as possible labor savings to be achieved through the proper arrangement of these areas. Based on the literature, a typical mathematical model is presented. Moreover, the paper discusses the analytical and simulation approaches used to solve these problems. The authors describe how the problem of assignment areas can be solved using simulation software available on market and present a case study based on real data.
